The Spotlight feature on Macs is a true time saver for finding files, launching apps, and otherwise jumping wherever you need—except your favorite bookmarks. Unless, that is, you've stashed a few sites away with this handy tip.

Reader chrisdenny1 notes that if you drag-and-drop your most-visited URLs into a Finder window, Spotlight will index them and, when pulled up and activated, launch them in your default browser. So open your browser to a site you'd like to have quick access to, grab the URL (either by its address bar icon, or by highlighting and dragging the entire URL itself), then drop it into a folder somewhere on your system. A folder in your Home directory makes sense—maybe "Favorites" or "Favorite Sites."

Update: Using Safari as your default browser provides this kind of bookmark-in-Spotlight functionality by default. If you use another browser as your default, though, this trick is worth the effort.

Name the links that result from your dragging whatever you'd like for quick access. Now, when you Command-Space into Spotlight search, you can type in your bookmark name and launch it in a move that's sure to embed in your muscle memory.
